I finished the Squid Game Challenge, a reality competition show based on the series. Honestly, it was really well done. I was a bit skeptical before I watched it, but they pulled it off. 456 people, mostly from the UK and US from what it seems, competing for 4.56MM. They use some challenges...

I just finished a show called War of the Worlds. This one came out in 2019, starting on Epix but now is MGM+. It's a modern version of the HG Wells story where aliens show up and basically wipe out almost all human life and the humans try to fight back. It takes place in England and France...

I've been watching a show called From on MGM+ on Prime. It's in the middle of the 2nd season. The premise is people in cars mysteriously arrive in a very small "town" and they can't leave (the only street in town just loops back in on itself). Everything is fine and dandy (other than not...

Looks like there's a Silo series coming to Apple TV this month. I've read nothing about it.

@passedpawn The first one, yes. I have the other 2 but haven't read them yet. I liked it. Are the sequels worth reading?

I liked this book. Read it probably 10 years ago. I really, really liked The Road. Relentlessly bleak.

@z-bob I'm curious how BCS would be if you binged it. I watched every episode weekly so parts of it seemed to drag on for years. I really liked S1. After that, it was hit or miss for me until maybe S4. It definitely picks up towards the end. Chuck is the best/worst. He's a neurotic...

I'm an episode and a half into Dahmer on Netflix. Creepy as.

I recently finished a book called The Last Dog on Earth. It's set in the near future in a post civil war England and the chapters are written from both the human's perspective and the dog's perspective. The dog's chapters are usually better if for no other reason than he swears like a drunken...

@GrogNerd How is Snowfall after season 1? I watched the 1st season and liked it but never picked it up again. Wouldn't mind jumping back in at some point.

Started watching Severance on Apple+. It's got a 70's conspiracy movie vibe which I like. Only 2 episodes are out so far. An intriguing premise: employees at a company volunteer (allegedly) for a procedure where their "consciousness" is split between work and non-work. While at work, they...

@Unicorn_Platypus It's called a u-bolt. Something like this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/National-Hardware-1-Count-2-5-in-W-x-0-75-in-L-x-1-4-in-Dia-Zinc-plated-U-Bolt/1000390261 I used 2 nuts to hold a spacer in place like this...

It's just really echo-y in the room. Concrete walls, ceiling and floor. I will have a rug in the other half of the room but I'll look to get some wall and/or ceiling panels to absorb some sound.

@chessking Definitely a clinical look, isn't it?

Well, I think construction-wise, the brew room is done. Plumber finished today and the electrician changes out 2 breakers for GFI ones earlier this week. I may have the plumber rework the cold line above the sink I plan to use for a chiller later if I don't like it, but I'll give it several...

As soon as the plumber and electrician do their jobs, or should I say as soon as the general contractor does his job. We were expecting this to be done in September!

I ended up with a boatload of outlets. Each wall box has 4 outlets, and there is a 20A breaker for every 2 boxes, except the 6-20 (240 20A) and 14-30 (240 30A) outlets.

Been a while since I posted an update. Painting is done. Just waiting on the interior door and plumbing now. And the electrician needs to swap out 2 breakers for GFCI ones. Not sure why he didn't use them for the 2 240V breakers. I decided to hold off on epoxying the floor for now. We got a...

Electrical question: What outlets for brewing do people recommend? I was planning on a 14-30 for my Auber Cube, and a 6-20 for my induction heater. And a crap ton of 20A outlets all over the room. Any other recommended outlets?

Yeah I wondered that too. Not sure when/if that inspection ever takes place, or if it just needs to be on the plans.
